Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Nubuck (Unisex)

My favorite - Best sandals you'll ever wear; whether it's at a concert, at work, at school, in the house, in the park, you'll never be disappointed. You'll think you're barefoot, but with great arch support!

Birkenstock Arizona - I originally ordered regular width. Way too wide. Zappos excellent customer service had a narrow pair to me right away. Now that is great service. I am very happy with my Birkenstocks and even happier with Zappos excellent customer service.

Arizona's Rock! I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but normally wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And usually less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

Birkenstock Arizona brown oiled leather - Super fast shipping… Look nicer than pictured. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am sure it will not be the last. Thanks Zappos for the great price and super fast shipping.

They're not pretty, but... They're not pretty, but pretty isn't why you buy Birkenstocks. Actually, these were for my teenager, replacing a pair she'd worn down to the cork. They are comfortable and seem to go with everything a 17 year old wears.

Happy with Birks - Originally, the size was larger than expected and needed to be exchanged. However, once this was corrected, the sandals were excellent and I was very pleased.

This is my 3rd pair of Arizona and I still have mine which are 5 years old. They are finally showing the age because I wear them all the time including winter at home. The leather takes a while to soften up so I usually wear with the socks at home for a week to break them. They are the most comfortable shoes that I know and my whole family is in love with the Birkenstocks including my 3 years old.

Third pair - Although I haven't completely broken in the new pair yet, I will say that I can't imagine living without my Birkenstocks. This is my third pair of the Arizona style. I ordered them to have a spare. They have been long lasting and after a break period, very comfortable. I wear them all day around the house.

Nice Sandal - I have had many pairs of Birks and this one is of the same quality as those I purchased 15 years ago. They do seem to change their product which is great because most companies make things shoddier.

Birkenstock review - What can you say about Birkenstock Arizona’s? Everyone needs a pair. They are perfect for any casual wear. This is my 3rd pair of them, they last about 10 years.

My first pair has gone 15 years. Plan to have them refurbished. The new model seems to run wide so we reordered the narrow and they fit fine. The transaction went smoothly and the new order arrived quickly. Thank you Zappos.

When It's Built Well, Wear It! Birkenstock is the best sandal. Just don't wear it in the rain! Save it for a rainy day, so to speak! The cork sole hates water! A Classic is built to last!

This is my 14th pair of Birks - I love these shoes; this is my 14th pair of Birks, second pair of Arizona’s. My last pair lasted 9 yrs of constant wear. If you have any type of foot problems or stand a lot these are the shoes for you. I wore these after I broke my ankle when I couldn't get my foot in any other shoe. I LOVE THEM!

Can’t beat the Birks - These shoes are such a delight to wear that I get home from somewhere wearing sneakers and I change to my Birks- They provide support, and just make my feet feel good.

Birkenstock Arizona - This shoe is very, very comfortable. It's ease of getting it on, for me (I'm "Physically Challenged"), is great and adds to the rating of 5 Stars. The only minus is its "Clunky" look but I have no suggestion for making it look "Sleeker". For me this is minor as the feel, fit and ease of putting it on are most important.

Birkenstocks Don't Really Come in Narrow - I ordered a pair to replace the ones I'd been wearing for 15 years, and got the same size I got then. Even with the buckles on the last hole, they were still too loose, so I had to punch new holes in the back strap to make them wearable. I could have returned them, but really wanted this pair so I made them work--just be warned that they aren't really narrow widths.

Great sandal, after minor field modification - After having these sandals a few weeks and making a minor modification, they now fit like gloves. Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them...

Birkenstock Arizona... I can't tell you how much I love this shoe. I have other Birks, but the Arizona looks like a Birk, feels like a Birk, and is the epitome of a Birk! I sold shoes for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me. Love them and will never wear anything else.

Great Shoe for "Problem" Feet - I have plantar fasciitis & have to wear orthotics in my lace-up shoes. After I also broke my foot and got my cast off, I despaired of what shoes I would wear, as my foot was still quite swollen & sore & couldn't fit with the orthotic in my shoe. Good old Birkenstocks' Arizona’s to the rescue. A year later, I'm all healed up & I'm still wearing them & they still feel great. A wonderful shoe!

Birkenstock's Arizona - I love the arch support in this shoe but for some reason they rub calluses on my foot just below my big toe. I have found that Earth shoes do this also. I do like the look of the shoes and continue to wear them.

I've had my last pair of Birkenstock's for 15 years and wear them almost everyday 9 months of the year. My old pair fit my feet like a glove so I found the new pair rather stiff...but, I know it is worth breaking them in; I expect to wear them for many, many years and many, many miles. It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked.

Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym shoes. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym shoes.

Great, but the narrows are really narrow - My teenage sons both have these sandals and wear them all the time (and the oldest ones are holding up quite well after 2 years). Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 normally, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the sandals that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are great looking sandals for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts.

Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand. They are very well made & would be a great shoe if you have wide feet.
